"I want to hear it all then," she laughed while glancing around for a bench or something for them to sit down on. Or maybe they should just go through the barrier? That way there could be no chance Daichi would miss the train.
But then Daichi started talking about his OWLs, bringing a smile to Kurumi's face and her eyes to water just a little when he mentioned the training that she had tried during her last term at Hogwarts. She was glad that it had helped, beyond glad really, and she could just hug the now sixth year Slytherin right now. Only she didn't just yet. "That's great Daichi! I'm so proud of you! And not just because of the O's, but because you were able to overcome your fear of fire a little." And NOW Kurumi gave Daichi a quick hug before pulling back because it didn't seem as though he was done with his news.
Leaning back a bit, Kurumi waited to hear what else Daichi had to say...only it seemed as though his next bit of news was something he wanted to show her and not tell her.
Momentarily distracted by her concern for him essentially stabbing himself with his new badge, it took a moment for her to register what badge he had just stabbed himself with. "GULPING GARGOYLES DAICHI!" she exclaimed as she clapped her hands together once rather loudly and her eyes widened. "I knew it!" Or, Kurumi had hope it anyway, but those weren't the words that had come out of her mouth.
Oh, right, of course. Daichi was trying to play it all cool right now like it was no big deal. WHY did guys always do that?!
"Daichi, I'm so proud of you!" Again. Even if he was probably the most Hufflepuff of Slytherins that she knew. Wait, maybe that was why? Kurumi did love like Hufflepuff guys. "You are going to do brilliantly!" Even if the idea of Sierra and him being co-prefects was somewhat...laughable?
Her summer? Yeah, she had sort of missed that question because she was too busy BEAMING at Daichi right now.
Remembering that he had left his trolley with his school supplies behind, Daichi told Kurumi he was getting it before he walked back , searching for his trolley. This was another reason why Daichi didn't get he was made Prefect. He obviously had just left his trolley for anyone to steal! With a sigh he pushed it back until he was standing in front of Kurumi again.
"i-i don't think i've overcome my fear yet." he answered back as he bit his lip.
"But i tried and i am actually proud of myself if i have to be honest" He wasn't the type to praise himself all the time but this time he really felt like he had accomplished something big. And he had, overcoming your biggest fear since a little kid, even if it is only small, is big right?
"I couldn't have done it with you though..." he said awkwardly and with a goofy smile on his face he suddenly moved forward and took Kurumi in tight embrace. Resting his chin against her shoulder, Daichi had to blink his eyes rapidly because he suddenly realised that she wasn't coming on the train with him.
"Really, Thank you..."
He pushed away from the gryffindor and quickly wiped his watery eyes with his sleeve. But while he was doing that it seemed that Kurumi had found out about his badge.
"Gulping Gargoyles?" Daichi giggled before he blushed again when she told him that she knew he was going to get it.
"It's strange, wearing this badge..." The Slytherin looked down at it and poked it with his finger.
"Not that i'm not happy with it!" he exclaimed quickly and flailed his arms.
"I'm just wondering why me? Kurumi , you know me right? i mean more than others do..." which was true. Apart from Evan and Jonathan only Kurumi *knew* him.
"Do you know why i was picked? Cause the other fifth years are much better at magic than i!"
